Takanuva had Light and Shadow powers when his light all most was drained. But what if other Toa could possess two or more elements without having such a painful reaction with a horrible lab experiment. What are your thoughts?

1) Naturally (if I understand it right), only if they are in a similar situation to Takanuva, having their light drained, so they're gaining shadow powers, or vice versa, in addition to their natural element. (Not sure off the top of my head if this replaces the element when completed...)

2) Wearing an elemental mask, like a Mask of Fire, distinct from their own element.

Yeah Bonesii is right, well so there are a few options if you want to have dual elements:Get a Elemental MaskGet semi-shadow drained, only works with shadow, possibly meditation could also work to get shadow or light as seen with Roodaka and White TerryGet a Elemental Weapon E.G Midak Skyblaster.Get fused to other Toa/Elemental Creatures and take the upperhand in its mind.Get yourself altered by the IgnikaThrow yourself in energised protodemis and hope :)Yeah most of those would'd be pretty painfull/immoral

To add on, Takutanuva wasn't really a Toa. Also, remember the Spear of Fusion, it fused a Ta-Toa and a Onu-Toa, which could give it/him access to both elements. Naturally, without anything, it's a "no" to the original question.

Masks can work(not just could ), but IMO Skyblasters don't reply count. They draw light from the surroundings and turn it into shoot able spheres. Doesn't really sound like elemental powers to me. Well, maybe, bu not too much.

Bones also said weird experiments that could be the work of a mad scientist. A dark hunter has both fire and earth powers, but they were fused and have both minds. What about an injection of the ability of an element?

Kaita are different, I believe, as they are more powerful and have different mask powers, and take on their own person, as a combination of the three minds.

Also, to a post far above, they are referencing Takanuva when he was partially light-drained, not as Takutanuva.

But yeah, Elemental masks would give some powers, and light drainage would do so as well, I believe. We have seen other beings have two as a result of a fusion, though that's a special case and they weren't really a Toa afterwards. Experiments may harbor results as well.

Well he did gain both powers when that happened. Also for me, Kaita is a sole body made from three or more bodies of different elemental abilities. Also I didn't think Takutsnuva. He really never used his powers. But '08 Takanuva on the other hand, did use both powers. I think?

Then what about with the Bohrok? On topic. Is there any other method that a Toa can have multiple powers, other than Ignika, masks, light drain, or experimentation.

Partial Shadow drain, and meditation to get rid of inner shadow. The Spear of Fusion, I think this was mentioned. Also tools and Rhotuka can have powers, as the Hagah demonstrate.Also, Red Star lightning. Toa Inika had elementals laced with lightning. Not sure that counts as multiple powers...

I don't think that a Toa with an elemental mask could really be considered a Toa with two elements. Elemental masks, from what I remember, have limited control of the element (or at least the Garai did), instead using just a subpower.

I do think that an elemental mask of, say, plasma, could be used similarly to the Inika's lightning attacks, to add to the power by combining the two.

This is why I think people should keep the "Garai = subpower" theory strongly in mind. Based on the English "translation", this idea is reasonable, but more logical seems to be the idea that the Garai could really be translated better as "Mask of Weight Control", rather than the full element of Gravity. In the case of the Mask of Light, there appeared to be no such limitations and it even had a few extra abilities besides. And Greg confirmed that there are Disks of Fire and the like which in disk form appear to simply grant the use of Fire to the user, and could be made into elemental masks to do the same. It seems unlikely that any of these would have such severe restrictions as the Kanohi Garai.

At the very least, we should not assume that the Garai is meant to establish a universal rule of limitations like that (unless Greg at some point confirmed it?).

Toa are 85% mechanical, and they have an internal "elemental battery" of sorts. The Toa are made to work with specific elements. This is kind of like how we might build one robot that can shoot fire and another that can shoot lightning; we would have to construct them differently. We could make just one robot that shoots both fire and lighting, but that would require a reconstruction of some sorts, either by adding new parts, changing the ones that are already there, or combining the parts of two or more robots.In BIONICLE, these things can be accomplished by mutation, fusion, swapping masks, using powers to emulate others, etc. Other transformations such as becoming a Toa in the first place also work. Without at least some direct modification to the body itself - even if it's something as minor as putting on an elemental Kanohi or unbalancing the inner light/shadow center - I don't think a single Toa could wield two different elements. A Toa of Fire's elemental ability simply isn't made to handle solids such as rock, for example. They would need something to aid them in converting stone to/from elemental energy, and also manipulate that Stone energy.

Well he did gain both powers when that happened. Also for me, Kaita is a sole body made from three or more bodies of different elemental abilities. Also I didn't think Takutsnuva. He really never used his powers. But '08 Takanuva on the other hand, did use both powers. I think?

Wait, um, regarding exact wording: Kaita are NOT "three or more". They are exactly three. Six is a Nui, and there is no current knowledge which would give evidence of combinations of four or five toa existing. Just saying this because it appears you are under the impression that any number of Toa above 2 can combine, which is incorrect to our current knowledge.

Takanuva had Light and Shadow powers when his light all most was drained. But what if other Toa could possess two or more elements without having such a painful reaction with a horrible lab experiment. What are your thoughts?

Nope. Takanuva had his light drained, and if you take away light you have shadow, so I think that would be the only way.

I don't know about lab experiments, BIONICLE chemistry, BIONICLE physics and other assorted BIONICLE subjects that would be needed in a lab experiment, so I'm not the one to ask about that.
